About Your Trip

It’s easy to purchase souvenirs on vacation, but it’s the memories you bring home that can’t be bought. Make some new ones on this Platinum DreamTrip to an idyllic beachside resort, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas — a gorgeous property within the global luxury network of leisure travel advisors, Virtuoso. In business since the 1970s, it has hosted notable guests like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra.

On this leisurely getaway, your itinerary is what you make it. Start early in the morning and end late at night — the choice is up to you! Laze the morning away at the pool or private beach. Then, head to the resort’s 250-acre (101-hectare) Shooting Center for a complimentary round of skeet or trap shooting. Hop on your own golf cart and explore the resort’s 7,000 tropical acres (2,833 hectares). Go horseback riding, play tennis, and quench your thirst with a drink whenever you want. Be sure to take advantage of your choice of a complimentary round of golf or refreshing massage at the spa! Or, why not book a tour or excursion off-site? We’ve got some great ideas, hand-picked just for you.

On Day 4, you’ll be treated to something different — a fun catamaran ride to Catalina Island! You’ll board at the resort’s private beach, then set off, enjoying music and sunshine along the way. At the island, you can stroll along vast stretches of beautiful white-sand beaches, dip your toes in shimmering waters or simply relax and soak up the sun.

Back at the resort, gather up the family and take advantage of all this amazing property has to offer. If you want to venture farther, steps away you’ll find the renowned Altos de Chavon, built to resemble a medieval village. It’s home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, museum, art school, church, nightclub and multiple shops. Cobblestone streets and European-inspired buildings ensure a Mediterranean look and feel.

What we love:• Among its many accolades, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas has been recognized as one of the top resorts in the Caribbean in the 2018 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.• The resort’s uniquely named Teeth of the Dog golf course is also a winner — it’s ranked as the No. 1 course in the Caribbean and No. 39 course in the world.• Under the starry sky, the Roman-style amphitheater at Altos de Chavon features top international entertainers, including Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli in 2009 and singing sensation Frank Sinatra in 1982.• Down the road from your resort is Francisco Micheli baseball stadium in La Romana, home to the popular Los Toros del Este baseball team and Freddy Garcia’s baseball academy.

Destination

La Romana was founded in 1897, and it was 20 years later that it built and ran a very productive sugar mill. As years went by, the focus switched over to tourism, thanks to the city’s premiere location on the southeastern coastline of Dominican Republic. This area became known for its top golf courses and internationally famed beaches. Landscapes, such as Cotubanama National Park, are covered in dense rainforests that hide intricate cave systems etched with ancient pictographs waiting to be discovered.
